Electrical Power Systems with Advanced Research Masters/MSc (Two Year)

This programme also aims to provide graduates with the ability to critically evaluate methodologies, analytical procedures and advanced research methods. Year 1 of the programme is focussed on the taught modules covering:

• Control concepts and methods
• Advanced energy conversion systems and power electronic applications
• Advanced power electronic technologies for electrical power networks – HVDC and FACTS
• Electrical power system engineering - using state-of-the-art computational tools and methods, and design of sustainable electrical power systems and networks
• Economic analysis of electrical power systems and electricity markets.

While Year 2 of the programme will give you the opportunity to work on an advanced research project. For some suitable projects, in conjunction with joint industry supervision, industry placement may be available.

• Introductory Module for Electrical Power Systems – 20 credits
• Power System Economics - 20 credits
• Power System Stability, Control and Protection - 20 credits
• Power Systems Operation and Control - 20 credits
• HVDC and FACTS - 20 credits
• Renewable Energy Systems Integration - 20 credits

• Advanced Research Project - 120
